RE: [H] OSX on Intel
Uh, no. I was thinking more like a cheap ass 761GX AM2 Motherboard, and a sempron 2800+ AM2, about $100 total for board + processor, add some ram (say, 512MB) for $50, a HDD for $50, and a CDR for $20. Case for $40. Bam. $260 and he's got a whole box with PCI-E if he wants it alter, could go to an X2 if he wants later, but for right now, perfect to just "play" with an OS he probably won't use on a day to day basis ;) > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:hardware- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Wayne Johnson > Sent: Monday, August 21, 2006 10:03 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; The Hardware List > Subject: RE: [H] OSX on Intel > > At 06:26 PM 8/20/2006, Mark Dodge typed: > >So before I go crazy searching the internet, is it possible to run on a > 949 > >with some not so exotic hardware? > > You did mean socket 939 as in AMD Athlon64 X2/ 64 FX/ 64 didn't you ? > Mwave has a Gigabyte board for only $60 that comes with nVidia 6100 > GPU, SATA2, 1394 on a Micro ATX case then you could top it off with a > Toledo Athlon64 X2 4800 which is under $300 & add a couple of gig of > ram for another $200.

Re: [H] OSX on Intel
Can't attest to how good it is, but you might want to check out this site: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page Parts of it don't seem to have been updated lately, but there ARE hardware compatibility lists.

RE: [H] OSX on Intel
So before I go crazy searching the internet, is it possible to run on a 949 with some not so exotic hardware?

RE: [H] OSX on Intel
I legitimately, legally own 10 copies of OS/X, for two of my clients. And yes, using online FAQs I have modified a copy to install on Generic hardware. Here's what I will tell you: You will have better luck using a 915G or 945G motherboard as compared to anything else (period). I think this is because it's much like the mac. And, the performance is fairly good. In fact, I'd say the performance with a 2.93 Celly is better then the MiniMac, which will run you about 5 times the cost in hardware. As the client needs us to deploy the OS/X elsewhere (dumb decision, they bought a 10 pack from CDW because they thought they would need them with the Macs they bought.. which of course, already came with OS - duh) then I'll move them elsewhere. :) > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:hardware- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Scott Sipe > Sent: Sunday, August 20, 2006 2:00 PM > To: The Hardware List > Subject: [H] OSX on Intel > > > Not asking for instructions or the like, but out of curiosity, has > anyone here had any experience running OSX recent releases on generic > hardware (AMD or intel?) > > Scott
